Port of Arica

This is a nice port city in northern part of Chile, bordered by the Pacific, where pelicans and sea lions are hauled out by fishermen. It was at this port, which looks like a peaceful place, where a fierce battle took place between Bolivia and Chile in the War of the Pacific. Arica is a city from where you can leave to go to visit Parque Lauca and the Cordillera Real de los Andes.
